What should you use to get necessary items into a treestand?

Using a haul line to get necessary items into a treestand is the safest and most effective method. A haul line is designed specifically for this purpose; it allows you to safely raise and lower your gear without needing to carry it up with you or risk dropping it while climbing. This prevents accidents, particularly when it comes to using both hands for climbing and maintaining stability.

The haul line helps ensure that your equipment, such as weapons or other hunting gear, is secure and out of harm’s way both while you ascend or descend and while you are hunting. This technique minimizes the risk of injury and helps maintain focus on safety as you prepare for your hunting experience.

Other options, while they may serve purposes in different contexts, do not provide the same level of safety or practicality for transporting items into an elevated treestand.
